Upon completion of this webinar a PDH Certificate will be provided for 4 PDH Credits
This webinar series is based on the Hydraulic Institute’s Intake Design for Rotodynamic Pumps (ANSI/HI 9.8–2018) Standard. The standard enables designers, owners, and users to configure functional pumping facility designs and provides remedial measures for problem intakes.
This webinar series visually aids the standard’s overview of design objectives, required inlet bell design diameter, submergence requirements, using the standard for proper instructions on intake structures for clear liquids and solids-handling pumps, highlights of key technologies used when designing the pump intake including physical and computation fluid dynamics (CFD).
Course content covers the following plans:
Session 1: Intake Background, History, and Design Objectives
Instructor: Andy Johansson, Director of Hydraulic Modeling, Alden Research Laboratory
Kara Hurtig, Principal Engineer, Northwest Hydraulic Consultants
Sesion 2: Intakes for Clear Liquids
Instructor: Dave Werth, Principal Engineer, Clemson Engineering Hydraulics
Session 3: Intakes of Solids-Bearing Liquids
Instructor: Barry Jongsma, Director of Engineering, Infrastructure and Advanced Hydraulics, Pentair
Session 4: CFD Modeling and Physical Modeling
Instructor: Kara Hurtig, Principal Engineer, Northwest Hydraulic Consultants
Joe Orlins, Associate Vice President for Hydraulic Design and Systems, AECOM
Learning Objectives:
- Be able to identify issues and considerations when designing a pump intake
- Highlight tools that are available to the engineer
- Understand how to use a standard effectively and comply with the industry regulations
